For a default Tomcat configuration, the normal deployment directory is named webapps, under Tomcat's home directory. The value is specified by the appBase attribute of each <Host> element in conf/server.xml. However, if needed, a webapp can actually be deployed anywhere, by creating a <Context> element for it in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml, with a docBase attribute pointing to the location of the .war file. (The preceding doesn't apply to older versions of Tomcat, but you didn't bother to tell us which one you're working with.) Using webapps is certainly easier, especially if you're just getting started with Tomcat. > Is there a "hot" deployment in Tomcat? Normally yes, but it's under control of the <Host> autoDeploy attribute in conf/server.xml. Many production sites disable autoDeploy to reduce overhead, but you likely want it on (the default) for development.
